Chapter 12 Modern Time and Space Magic Sword and Seal
The flying speed of the Dead Soul Insect is not very fast, but it travels in a straight line after all, without considering terrain factors, and the Maple Village is not particularly far away.
The two set out in the evening and rushed in the same direction non-stop, without resting for even a quarter of an hour... The same was true for the Death Soul Insect. Although it was very weak, it was still a monster after all, and its physical strength was extraordinary.
The journey also doesn’t require much rest.
Of course, after such a starry night journey, at about eleven or twelve o'clock in the night, the two finally arrived at a place located at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by dense forests and silent rivers, like a paradise under the moonlight.
village.
At this moment, in the dead of night, everything is silent.
The river surrounds the village, and the silent river gurgls in the dark night. The forest in the distance is filled with miasma that is invisible to the naked eye. In Gu Mo's eyes, it is the forest that is blooming with fluorescence. At first glance, it looks like...
The luminous vegetation environment of Pandora is quite beautiful.
"You..."
Standing on the outskirts of the village, Kikyo felt a little emotional, and then seemed to remember something. She turned back and looked at the person next to her, frowning slightly as if she didn't know what to say.
"Go ahead, I'm just wandering around outside..."
Gu Mo smiled very understandingly and said this proactively. It just so happened that he really needed some time to implement his plan.
His eyes quietly glanced in the direction of the miasmatic night forest. It seemed that the incredibly magical bone-eating well was inside, as well as a particularly magical age tree. The former was created from the wood of the latter.
, it seems that because of this, it has the magic power to travel through time and space.
"...that's fine."
Kikyo looked at him deeply, nodded slightly, and said softly.
During the journey, the witch didn't ask anything, such as the true origin of the other party, what she knew about him, etc. It's not that she didn't believe it at all or didn't care, but she had her own plan and was ready to verify it first.
Let’s talk about the things we care about most.
——Try to do it in her own way without being influenced by this person.
Now, she is going to see her sister. Since Kagome Higurashi can say so confidently that she had a hidden secret fifty years ago, and it doesn't seem like she is lying, then the best thing for her is
The way to confirm is to ask your sister.
For now, that is the only relative she can continue to trust in this world.
The miko walked into the quiet and sleeping village alone in the darkness, and walked directly to the front of a wooden house not far away. Maple lived here, and she could sense his aura... Speaking of which, it had been fifty years.
It passed. She had mixed feelings in her heart for a moment, and she didn’t know what kind of complicated feeling it was.
Kikyo subconsciously looked at a hill behind the village, which was where the shrine of Maple Village used to be. The Shikon Jade was enshrined there, and as the miko of the village at that time, she lived there with her sister.<
/p>
But now, since even Kaede has moved into the village, the Back Mountain Shrine must have long ceased to exist...
It's really hard for Feng. When she died, she was still very young, but she ended up having to take over the responsibility of her incompetent sister alone, pick up the bow and arrow and continue to protect the village... She has persisted until now, which is really, really amazing.
, at least much better than myself.
Standing in silence in front of the door curtain, the witch lowered her eyes, wondering what she was thinking.
After a long while, she turned around and found that the man's figure was still standing there not far from the edge of the village, looking patiently and quietly, even though his whole body was cast by the dark clouds in the night sky.
It's shrouded in shadows, and it's hard to see clearly in the darkness at night.
She turned around again, gently lifted the door curtain, and walked into the house.
In the fire pit inside the house, the charcoal fire is burning. Although it is not so blazing and hot, it still gives the house a little red firelight. It is not pure and complete darkness, and the light of the charcoal fire also brings warm heat and at the same time reflects the light.
The outline of an old woman sleeping not far from the fire pit is shown.
Kikyo's movements were very light and she didn't make any sound when she came in, but the old woman woke up immediately. When she opened her eyes, she also stretched her arms towards the bow and arrow that was right next to her.
But after seeing clearly who came in, she was completely shocked.
"Feng, long time no see..."
Kikyo looked at her old sister carefully, sighed softly, and said.
…………
The other side.
Gu Mo watched the figure of the witch disappear behind the door curtain, and without any further delay, he turned around and walked straight across the field toward the foothills over there, where there was a large forest.
Walking into the forest, he didn't notice that the pervasive miasma brought any DEBUFF to him. This kind of miasma that ordinary people couldn't see was not a poisonous gas with properties like corrosion, but more like a diffuse scattered demonic gas.
Qi and qi do not appear to be complex, nor are they emitted by many different monsters.
It must be that the village has brought the corpses of killed monsters here for many years to be disposed of. Kikyo, who once guarded the Four Souls Jade, has killed countless monsters. After many years of this, the corpses of the dead monsters
The remnants and essence turned into a miasma that enveloped the entire forest.
Because the essence is ownerless demonic energy, the harm is not necessarily too great. It is probably that ordinary people will be easily confused if they stay in the forest for a long time.
Of course, there was no threat to Gu Mo at the moment, and he consciously searched for the source of the miasma, going to places where the miasma became thicker the deeper he went, in order to penetrate deep very quickly.
In the forest, I found a dry well hidden among the tangled trees, vines and grass.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
He lay on the wellhead and looked inside. It was pitch black inside, not particularly deep.
The source of the heavy miasma is here. The corpses of monsters that have been thrown in over the years will soon disappear. The situation is like the well devouring the corpses thrown in, and it will never be full.
Hence the name - "Bone-Eating Well".
In fact, it is because this well was built using the wood of the nearby Godly Tree. The wood of the Age Tree has special power, and the well is right next to it. Perhaps it is also connected to the power of the Age Tree, so it has the ability to travel through time and space.
Strange abilities...
It should not be unlimited. It probably only covers the day when the well was built to the last moment of its existence in the future——
In this period of time and space, there has always been a historical period when this well existed, so that time and space can be connected...
And there are probably other conditions to be able to use this well to transfer back and forth between two specific times and spaces... As for that condition, Gu Mo thinks it should be because of the Jade of the Four Souls, but also
Not entirely sure.
Because the representation of this well in his memory was really idealistic and subtle.
Kagome Higurashi initially brought the Shikon Jade with her, so that she could move back and forth between the Warring States Period and the later generations of 1996. However, after losing the Shikon Jade, there was indeed no way to use the well to return to the Warring States Period for a period of time...
…
Inuyasha was seriously injured at the time, and happened to be targeted by Naraku again, so when Higurashi Kagome was relaxing, he unexpectedly snatched the Shikon Tama from her body, pushed her back to the real world, and planned to face the next battle alone...
Kagome Higurashi was worried, but she really couldn't go back to the Warring States Period until she sensed the breath of the Shikon Tama.
It was during the battle that the Four Souls Jade carried by Inuyasha was knocked down by the enemy and fell into the well.
And because of the special nature of the Bone-Eating Well, five hundred years later, Kagome felt the presence of jade and ran into the well again. Seizing this opportunity, she was able to return to the Warring States Period... It was also this time.
, the two secretly expressed their feelings to each other.
——And judging by the time, it seems that this plot happened not long ago.
But that is the case, but in the early stage, Higurashi Kagome returned to the modern world with the Shikon Jade, and Inuyasha also easily traveled through the past without the Shikon Jade, and came back easily... This
This kind of thing happens not once, but multiple times.
Also, in the finale, Naraku was eliminated, the Shikon Tama disappeared completely and forever, and Higurashi Kagome was sent back to her own time... I originally thought that our fate was over and we would never see each other again, but three years later
Afterwards, the Well of Bone Eaters miraculously reconnected to the Warring States Period.
——These situations are completely unreasonable, so it is difficult to say what is a real round-trip ticket.
Gu Mo thought seriously, picked up a small stone, threw it into the well and listened to the echo, confirming that it was indeed about four or five meters high.
He looked around, then turned over and jumped into the well.
"..."
"..."
The forest was quiet, with the occasional night breeze blowing, and unknown summer insects chirping happily, but it became even more silent. The figure who jumped into the well did not appear again, as if he had just disappeared into the well. Until the witch in white clothes and scarlet hakama frowned slightly, followed the traces all the way to this place, stood in front of the well and looked in confusion, Gu Mo's figure did not appear again.
……
……
For those involved, the experience of traveling through time and space is not novel at all.
There were no gorgeous light and shadow effects, the land at the bottom of the well did not emit light, and there was no long space-time tunnel in front of him. His body seemed to be falling in it without gravity... none of the above, he was just innocent.
Jump into the well and keep your feet on the ground.
Then I raised my head, and there was no longer a forest night sky above the wellhead, but a dark roof beam.
Unknowingly, the times have changed. It is an unimaginable weird phenomenon... Gu Mo was amazed by this. It seems that the Jade of Four Souls is indeed one of the tickets, at least it affects the well to open the space-time channel.
important factors.
He quickly left the dry well. The building around it was a sealed room, an ancient wooden building. The bone-eating well was sunken underground, with stairs leading to the top...
This must be the ancestral hall of Higurashi Shrine, Gu Mo made such a guess, walked up and gently pushed the door open. The door that seemed to be tightly closed, opened with a push of his hand, and was not locked at all.<
/p>
It was probably because the Higurashi family made it easier for Higurashi Kagome to travel between two different eras, but this family was indeed very generous. They were so confident that a junior high school girl would face such a thing, and even helped her take leave to cover it up.
Allowing her to travel through the Warring States Period without any distractions, and embark on a journey to find jade and eliminate demons.
In a sense, it is really magical.
Gu Mo walked out of the ancestral hall and first took a look at the sky. It happened to be late at night in the modern world.
The towering tree not far away stood quietly in the night wind. His eyes lit up, and he quickly walked forward and looked at the era tree. However, he did not feel any power from it.
He has no spiritual power or demonic power. If he hadn't known about the power of this sacred tree, he probably wouldn't have thought it was so remarkable.
"emmmmm...let me think about it."
His eyes wandered back and forth on the branches of the Era Tree. Gu Mo thought about where to start. It would be better to cut some wood and take it back... This is definitely an extremely precious material. After passing this village, there will be no such store. p>
At just the right time, a gust of night wind blew and the trees rustled.
"Huh?" Gu Mo calmed down his expression slightly, tilted his head and stared at it for a while, not sure whether this thing was spiritual or not.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But this matter can be put aside first. He turned around and looked around. Higurashi Shrine was a bit big, but the open space occupied most of the area. The main hall of the shrine and the Higurashi family behind it were the main ones... What he was looking for,
It should be in the house of Higurashi's family.
After all, it is a two-story house. After excluding the living space for a family of four, there is not much room left to put things.
Having said that, isn't it good that this whole family has been ransacked by him? Gu Mo thought as he walked in the direction of the house.
He quietly entered the house and quickly found a storage room. It was probably the utility room used by Grandpa Higurashi to store his various "treasures".
There are quite a lot of ancient antiques piled up together, in this box and in that box.
The mental power spread out like invisible spider threads, quickly spreading throughout the storage room. In the blink of an eye, everything was filtered through. After sifting through the limited space, Gu Mo easily found what he wanted.
Something to get.
He moved the boxes one by one, found a big box in the corner, and gently took out the sundries inside. Finally, he got his wish and saw a simple straight knife lying quietly at the bottom with a simple wooden sheath.
, slightly monotonous, the top of the handle is inlaid with a pale white bead the size of a table tennis ball, as if it was carved from stone.
Cong Yunya...
A magic sword that can be said to be the most powerful in the storyline is just given away for nothing, gathering dust here and being pressed at the bottom of a certain box.
Gu Mo reached out and picked it up gently, and the triggered appraisal function also told him that it was a piece of gold-level equipment... No, it should be said to be two pieces, because even the scabbard itself was a silver-level piece of equipment.
equipment, but there is a significant difference in the color and gloss of the words displayed between the two.
——"Cong Yunya (seal)."
The name of the magic sword is a brilliant golden color, extremely shining. This pure shining golden color is almost close to the mask in his hand.
——"Cong Yunya's scabbard."
The name of the wooden sheath shows that it has a very dim white-silver color, with a mottled feel, and there is even a trace of very fine gold remaining on the edge that is almost impossible to confirm.
The system seems to simply classify the quality of equipment and props of the same quality level through the difference between color depth and purity. Gu Mo pondered for a moment, and his eyes became a little regretful. Could it be that the scabbard itself is gold?
Level equipment, right?
It seems very possible. After all, General Dog died seven hundred years ago, and after his death, no one could control Cong Yunya's magic sword, and it could only be sealed by the scabbard.
They are all scabbards made of the same material, but the scabbards of Tie Suiya and Tiansheng Ya have no consciousness of birth. Only Cong Yunya's scabbard has spirit, and not only is it so unique, it also suppresses this magic sword by itself.
Seven hundred years... It's a pity that such a long seal probably exhausted the power of the scabbard.
With a gentle breath, Gu Mo suppressed the regret in his heart, took hold of Cong Yunya's knife handle, and lifted it up.
At this time, the wooden scabbard gently bloomed with light, as if Aladdin's magic lamp was rubbed, and the genie inside emerged from the mouth of the lamp. A strange light group was suspended on the inscription of the scabbard, and at the same time there was
An old voice sounded: "Monster, are you here specifically for this sword?"
"No."
Gu Mo was not frightened, and replied very simply: "I just happened to be passing by, accidentally entered here by mistake, and happened to find this sword. I was curious and picked it up to take a look."
"..."
"..."
The scabbard was immediately silenced by him. This person didn't follow the routine at all in answering his opening remarks, leaving him at a loss as to how to proceed with the rest of his lines... and this was obviously an act of telling lies with his eyes open.
It almost makes it difficult to evaluate.
Although all the power is suppressing the magic sword, it is not completely ignorant of the changes in the outside world. This person went into the family's house at night, accurately found the storage room, and then moved from one place to another with a clear purpose.
Cong Yun Ya was accurately found in a large pile of boxes...
What kind of person is this? Just passing by? Accidentally entering by mistake?
And you just happened to find this magic sword?
After a pause, the light group continued to make a sound: "Monster, are your demon power strong enough? If you are not sure, immediately take me and Cong Yunya to find powerful monsters nearby, or take us out of here immediately to find some uninhabited places.
The more remote the place, the better..."
"Eh? Shouldn't you have warned me? Why don't you object to me taking this thing?" Gu Mo looked a little surprised.
"Why are you objecting? I wish someone could share the pressure. Cong Yunya's seal has reached its limit now. I don't know how long I can hold on..."
The old voice was full of helplessness and exhaustion.
"Still the same question, monster, is your demon power strong enough? If you come here specifically, you should know what kind of magic sword this is. Do you think you can suppress it?"
"Well, it's hard to say. I think it depends on the situation..."
Gu Mo thought for a moment and shook his head. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. It's hard to draw a conclusion because of his empty talk. As far as his current demon power is concerned, he is probably better than Ergouzi, but he won't.
It’s just too much, but I have two trump cards in my hand that are no less impressive than Cong Yunya.
However, their side effects are also obvious...
Probably no less side effects than this demonic sword that wants to kill the living and turn everything in the world into ashes...
"Who!!"
There was a sudden loud shout, and the door of the storage room was suddenly opened.
The light of the flashlight shone directly in. A somewhat thin old man opened the door, nervously took the broom next to him, and stared into the storage room.
He got up at night to go to the bathroom, and heard voices coming from the storage room. He immediately thought that there was a thief in the house, but now he was stunned. Because the old man saw a young man inside, and he had no conscience at all.
Sitting carelessly among the debris, he was talking to a sword.
"You, you..." The old man felt that his brain was a little unable to react.
Is this a thief? Or is he a mentally ill person with brain problems?
"Ah hahahaha, sorry, sorry, did we speak too loudly?" The young man scratched his cheek in embarrassment. When he turned to look, he also took the initiative to apologize, "I'm really sorry.
, didn’t pay attention to the time, and we didn’t realize it was so late..."
"It's good that you know..."
It seemed that he was quite self-aware and a person who was easy to talk to. Grandpa Higurashi took a long breath and his serious expression softened slightly, but he still stared straight into the other person's dark eyes with a straight face.
, he taught this young man who was not decent at all.
"Don't even look at what time it is now, we all have to sleep!"
"Remember to speak in a lower voice!"
"Don't argue anymore!"
After a lecture, the young man opposite could not even lift his head. The old man finally felt satisfied, put down the broom, and gave a few more instructions to the other person to pay attention to his voice, and then closed the door in the utility room.
Open the door, and then go back to your room Shi Shiran.
"Okay, where did we just talk?"
Seeing the door being closed, Gu Mo finally looked away. He was still sitting in the utility room of Higurashi's house with his big sword, and asked to the wooden sheath in front of him.
